## What is Barstool Sports?

Barstool Sports - By the Common Man, For The Common Man

Follow all the action at The Stool with our first app that actually works - live video, podcasts, and blogs with the hottest takes only from the funniest personalities on the internet.

El Pres, Big Cat, KFC, KMarko, PFTCommenter and an army of bloggers bring you sports, pop culture, girls, entertainment, viral videos, and original content 24/7 - from the smash hit podcasts Pardon My Take and KFC Radio, to the daily Rundown video series. 

“What you guys do is brilliant and funny…Barstool makes me laugh on a daily basis” - Scott Van Pelt. 

With a cult following of fiercely loyal fans, Barstool is a driving force in sports, entertainment and men’s culture. Originators of Saturdays Are For the Boys (#SAFTB), #FreeBrady, #FireGoodell, Viva La Stool, “Uhhh...Ya Think?,” RIP Harambe, the Mount Rushmores of everything, and the ongoing debate - is Joe Flacco elite? Nothing is off limits. 

Called “a virtual frat house…a place of uncensored chatter between a bunch of average Joes” by Boston Magazine and both “real and honest and unapologetic” and “a profoundly despicable corner of the internet” by Sports Illustrated - Barstool Sports is the controversial brand that people love…or love to hate.

### 3/5 — Good App. My Content Creator isn’t on it

*2026-08-24, version 62.0.0*

The app seems good if you are deep into the world of Barstool. I used to enjoy watching KFC do his One Minute Man breakdowns on Instagram, but I got rid of my social media and hoped he would have his videos on this app. Looking at the “latest” videos posted under the One Minute Man page showed videos from a few years ago. Probably more of a criticism of the content creator than the app, but I deleted it because of that.

### 1/5 — Fix it already!

*2026-08-07, version 61.0.1*

Only app in the world that sucks this much with a massive budget. Unbearable with ads detailing the articles while reading. Over it.

### 1/5 — Make it work again

*2026-07-12, version 61.0.1*

This app used to be awesome. Now every Devlin post goes blank because of videos and ads. Make it usable again, please.

### 1/5 — Please fix ads for iPhone viewing

*2026-07-11, version 61.0.1*

Great content, but horrible interface. Oversized ads take over the screen every time I start scrolling through an article. In addition you also get weird background music playing. 
So much potential for an awesome app.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-09, version 61.0.1*

Ads start playing out of no where, comments don’t work, asks you to login every time you click something

### 1/5 — Horrible Ads!!!!

*2026-05-22, version 61.0.1*

Great app but the damn ads automatically playing without even being able to find it to mute makes it fustrating. Please fix it Barstool!

### 1/5 — Soundtrack?

*2026-05-13, version 61.0.1*

Annoying guitar riff starts running in the background once you open the app. Sounds like late-night Skinemax love-scene music.

### 1/5 — How an app is this bad in 2026 is beyond me.

*2026-05-13, version 61.0.1*

Random gas station music plays when the app is open, homepage or in articles. Giant out of proportion ads inline in articles require you to scroll for 20 minutes, in which you can’t even see what the ad is for or about. When trying to read an article the text constantly jumps around as various elements load slowly or not at all. It’s really a sad state of things and sort of represents where Barstool is at these days.

### 1/5 — Good content. Terrible app

*2026-05-12, version 61.0.1*

Can’t finish reading a blog before an add goes takes over.

### 2/5 — Improvements needed

*2026-05-10, version 61.0.1*

Pinch in screen enhancement, full screen videos, turning phone horizontal to enlarge text
